I have always been an animal lover since I was a kid. Having a large array of animals--dogs, cats, birds, etc.-- has helped me to understand how each species reacts to one another, giving them confidence and security in being loved and cared for throughout their life. My pets are my family and I will treat your pet like family too. One of the most important things to me is to consistently make sure their basic needs are met, as well as their emotional needs. As a Social Worker and teacher, I have witnessed how important it is for not only we as humans to be loved and cared for, but for our animal friends as well. The love and care of our pets and animals in general, is something that I take very seriously.
